Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?
Just thought this would be quicker reference than what's for dinner or searching through lots of posts? There used to be one a while back, Meal Plan Monday or obviously whatever day you start yours on 🙂 I did post mine in the Grocery challenge, but will post again for anybody that doesn't join in with that thread. Vegan…

Removing yoghurt smell from carpet
I haven't been able to find a thread, although I bet there is one … I spilt a yoghurt drink on the floor the other day. Carpet - not a very good or fluffy one. Scraped it up, wet it, sponged it to lift moisture, sprayed it with Febreze. Next day, smell remains - doesn't help that it's 30+ out there and not much cooler…

I've an old pair of Timberland boots the yellow ones. I'm reluctant to pay the silly price for the recommended soap and brush kit to remove scuffs etc. Any cheap home remedy suggestions? Tks

Reading as a cheap hobby
Reading needn't cost anything if you live within walking distance of a library or get a free bus pass. Libraries often put on free activities for children, too. If you're lucky, your local library will be warm and have some cosy armchairs. Some libraries will allow laptops so that students can work on projects and…

Making yoghurt in a slow cooker
Honestly, it works, but you need a little bit of technology ... We've had a basic electric yoghurt maker for 20+ years (it was a wedding present) but a week or two ago it stopped getting hot. It's not designed to be fixed by the user (I think the casing is glued together) and I was more likely to destroy it than fix it, so…

Prepping: the new world...
Thought it was about time for a new Prepping thread... Please keep it on topic, friendly and realistic for life in the UK (i.e. no hurricane basements, no guns, no politics). For those that don't know, the Guides & Scouts among us will be prepared, but are the rest of us ready? IMPORTANT NOTE: this thread is a resource for…
